It is being said that there can be a terrorist attack in this match, so the security personnel are making full preparations in view of the possibility of a possible attack. Extensive measures are being taken to deal with any situation in this match. For this match, the presence of police will be from ground to air.

In fact, according to reports, ISIS-K (Islamic State Khorasan) has talked about a ‘lone wolf’ attack. In this, a video has been released by ISIS, in which independent attackers have been asked to disrupt the match. Regarding this entire matter, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder has confirmed the threat and told about the security measures. In a ‘lone wolf’ attack, a person himself plans and executes the act.

A lone wolf attack or lone actor attack is a specific type of mass murder that is carried out in public by an individual who plans and executes the act on his own. In the United States, such attacks are usually carried out using firearms. In other countries, knives are sometimes used to injure people on a mass scale. Although definitions vary, such a mass murder typically requires at least four victims (including those injured).

T20 World Cup 2024: New York Governor Kathy Hochul also spoke about the security related to the India-Pakistan match and said that she is working closely with security officials to ensure that the match takes place smoothly. According to a statement from the Governor’s office, the entire situation is being monitored. According to intelligence information, there is currently no security threat to the match.

Kathy Hochul also shared a post on X. She wrote- In preparation for the Cricket World Cup, my team is working closely with federal and legal authorities to keep match attendees safe. Although there is no credible threat at this time, I have instructed the New York Police to increase security measures and we will continue to monitor as the event approaches.
